Soiled Poultry Bedding in Orchard

Hello

The time is coming for me to clean out my poultry exclosures. Im using the deep littler meathod and Spring is a'springing. Time to start a new.

My question is, can i put this directly into the orchard?

Context and thoughts:

My orchard is young and various species. Apples, Asian Pears, Elderberries, Paw Paw, Mulberry, Walnut, Hazel Nut, Quince.....i believe thats everything so far.

Each tree is on a mound about a foot high, 3 to 5 feet wide and heavily mulched with a welded wire cage surrounding the mound.

The bedding in question is coming from coops of chickens, ducks and geese that has been building up for the past 5 months or so.

My thought was to spread it bewteen the "heavy feeders" on the OUTSIDE of the welded wire cages. Thinking that the majority of the hot nitrogen will be washed down adjacent to the roots as the oldest trees were planted last April or so and i dont think the roots have extended past the cages much.

what do yall think?

Sounds like a great plan. If you just put it on top of the soil you're letting nature decide how to integrate it, so perfect. I use my pigeon and chicken manure on fruit trees and in my vegetable garden all the time. Just go light,  and if possible cover with another mulch.

If you manure is reality free of seed yes.  If not I would take it somewhere to compost and attempt to germinate the weed seeds away from things that matter.
